Abstract
Description
- The present invention pertains generally to the household cleaning. In particular, the invention is a mop that includes a sprayer that is able to spray cleaning products that are sold for use with or without the mop described herein.
- While mops, and spray mops, are known in the art, heretofore such spray mops have required the use of particular spray canisters specifically designed and sold to fit particular mops. As such, when one purchased a spray mop, the spray mop typically came with an initial canister, loaded with the appropriate cleaning solution, and when the solution in that canister was depleted, the canister had to be either refilled or replaced. Accordingly, retailers selling such mops had to stock several different items in addition to the initial mop (or mop kit), e.g., filled replacement canisters, as well as bottles of solution for refilling the canisters. In fact, at least one manufacturer supplies refills in various sized bottles and flexible bags having a refill spigot.
- The presence of numerous items—mop kits, filled replacement canisters, refill bottles of solution in various sizes and configurations, as well as the existence of the very same cleaning solutions in various sized spray bottles—meant that retailers of such spray mops had to maintain a relatively large number of “stock keeping units” (“SKUs”), as each item, e.g., the initial mop kit, the canisters, the refills, and the various filled spray bottles, each had their own SKU. Maintaining a large number of diverse SKUs for what was, essentially, the same product (e.g., the cleaning fluid within the initial spray mop kit, the replacement canisters, the refills, and the standalone spray bottles, possibly of different sizes) meant that retailers had to deal with stocking, ordering, and shelf space issues.
- The present invention pertains to a spray mop that is adapted to use the standard spray bottle of cleaning solution that is sold to those who do not have, or choose to use, a spray mop.
- In particular, the present invention includes a mop with a handle that extends from a mop head at its distal end, typically having a cloth or other wipe attached thereto, up to its proximal head that typically includes a “trigger” lever that can be depressed by the user to cause a cleaning solution to be sprayed from a spray nozzle on the lower portion of the mop handle. Above the spray nozzle there is a receiver having a size and shape adapted to receive a standard retail container of the cleaning solution, wherein the standard retail container is typically sold with an attached sprayer.
- In accordance with the present invention the sprayer affixed to the retail container can be unscrewed and removed by the user and replaced by a screw-on “mop adapter” that allows the retail container to be inverted and inserted into the receiver on the spray mop. The mop adapter includes a valve and an air vent, whereby when the retail container has been inserted into the receiver, cleaning solution is dispensed through the spray nozzle on the lower portion of the mop when the user depresses the trigger at the proximal end of the mop's handle, thereby directing a spray of the cleaning solution ahead of the mop.
- In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the receiver further includes a spring-loaded retainer that is adapted to allow multiple sized retail containers to be inserted and retained therein.
- In the Drawing:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 illustrates the mop of the preferred embodiment of the invention with a container of cleaning solution in the receiver of the mop ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 illustrates the adapter used with the invention to replace the sprayer on a retail container of spray solution whereby the container can be inverted and inserted into the receiver on the mop; -
FIG. 4 illustrates the receiver that allows a plurality of different sized spray containers to be used with the mop; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates the spring-loaded retainer within the receiver that allows a plurality of different sized spray containers to be used with the mop. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thespray mop 10 of the present invention that is adapted to use standard retail spray bottle product, rather than canisters of cleaning solution, is shown. Thespray mop 10 includes ahandle 12 having amop head 14 at its distal end and ahandgrip 16, at its proximal end. As shown thehandgrip 16 includes a lever, or trigger, that a user can depress to cause cleaning solution to be sprayed from anozzle 20 that is mounted beneath areceiver 22. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thereceiver 22 has a shape and configuration adapted to receive an invertedretail container 24 of cleaning solution. As will be explained hereinafter, thereceiver 22 further includes a spring-loaded retainer (SeeFIGS. 4 and 5 ) that permits thereceiver 22 to hold various sizes ofretail containers 24 of cleaning solution. - As is common, the
mop 10 further includes aswivel 26 that allows thehandle 12 to be raised and lowered relative to themop head 14. Also, those skilled in the art will recognize that themop head 14 is designed to hold a cleaning pad, such as a microfiber pad, with the microfiber pad being held in place by any suitable means, such as clamping or by using hook-and-loop (e.g., Velcro) fasteners on the underside of thehead 14. - As will be understood by those skilled in the art, various elements of the
inventive mop 10, such as themop head 14, and the internal mechanisms that allow and cause the cleaning solution to be dispensed are known in the art. However, the unique and inventive aspect of thepresent mop 10 is that thereceiver 22 has a shape and configuration specifically adapted to hold and retain standard retail containers of cleaning solution, as shown inFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIG. 3 , in order to use themop 10 of the present invention with a standard retail container of cleaning solution of the type typically sold with a sprayer top, the sprayer top is unscrewed from the retail container (i.e., the “spray bottle”), and it is replaced by asimple adapter 30 having a centrally positionedvalve 32 along with anoffset air vent 34 attached to avent tube 36. Theadapter 30 includesinternal threads 38 sized to fit the container of cleaning product, whereby theadapter 30 can be screwed onto thebottle 24 when the top (which is often a sprayer) is removed. Theadapter 30 also includes a seal, such as a resilient washer or a rubber O-ring 39 to prevent leakage when themop 10 is assembled with abottle 24 in thereceiver 22. - As will be understood by those skilled in the art, when a retail bottle (or container) of spray solution is sold, with an attached sprayer, a “supply” tube extends down into the container so that when the sprayer is activated (by hand pumping or otherwise) cleaning solution is drawn from the bottom of the spray bottle. A vent hole in the sprayer top allows air to enter the spray bottle as cleaning solution is sprayed, whereby there will be no interruption of the spraying due to reduced pressure within the spray bottle.
- When a
standard spray bottle 24 is used with thepresent mop 10, theretail container 24 must be inverted, as shown inFIG. 2 . Thus, when used with themop 10, the former top of thecontainer 24 is inserted into thereceiver 22, so the cleaning solution does not travel up a tube to the sprayer. However, air must still be introduced into thecontainer 24 when it is used with themop 10, whereby thevent tube 36 provides a way for air to enter thecontainer 24 above the level of the cleaning solution therein so as to prevent decreased pressure from interrupting the flow of cleaning solution from thecontainer 24 when it is used in themop 10 while also preventing cleaning solution from dripping from thecontainer 24. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, when thelever 18 is squeezed a rod within thehandle 12 pushes down and opens thevalve 32 and pumping cleaning solution from thecontainer 24 to be sprayed from thenozzle 20. - Another feature of the preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 4 , which shows that thereceiver 22 holds a spring-loaded retainer 40 (SeeFIG. 5 ) designed to securely hold various sized retail containers of cleaning solutions. By way of example, a particular retailer may sell retail spray bottles containing either 32 ounces or 40 ounces of cleaning solution. The spring-loadedretainer 40 allows either the 32-ounce size, or the 40-ounce size, of thespray bottle 24 to be held in theretainer 22. In addition, the spring-loadedretainer 40 is configured to securely retains thebottle 24 so that it does not fall out or leak in the event that themop 10 is dropped or inverted (e.g., to be hung up for storage) by a user. - A great advantage of the present invention is that particular cleaning product suppliers often package their cleaning products in identically shaped bottles. For example, For Life Products, LLC sells a number of floor cleaning products (e.g., hardwood floor cleaner, marble cleaner, vinyl floor cleaner, shine refresher, tile cleaner, and stone cleaner) under their Rejuvenate trademark. In order for a retailer to carry each of those six cleaners in canisters for the spray mops heretofore known, an additional six SKUs would be required for that single supplier, and if canister refills (bottles and/or bags) are added, then even more SKUs would be required, and that is for only a single supplier. With the present invention, only a single new SKU is required for a
mop 10 having areceiver 22 with an internal shape (“female”) that conforms to the manufacturer's bottle's shape (“male”). Further, by using the spring-loadedretainer 40 it is possible for themop 10 of the present invention to be used with different sized containers. - In addition, the use of the
mop 10 of the present invention with the simple screw-on adapter 30 (FIG. 3 ) means that no reservoir has to be refilled, as on some of the spray mops previously known, as such refilling is not only messy, but may also require retail outlets to add additional SKUs for the refills. - Finally, as should be obvious to one skilled in the art, while each version of the
mop 10 of the present invention is specifically configured to have areceiver 22 that is specifically designed to act with a particular product container configuration, whereby eachmop 10 would be specific to a particular manufacturer's containers, the design of anew mop 10, for a different manufacturer's containers can be readily accomplished by using the new container to mold anew receiver 22 configured to fit that container. - While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.
